Unc

I feel like I just broke a tooth no one can see-
He didn’t ask for much attention
But you couldn’t get away with not respecting his presence
If you needed a beer, he had one
If you needed a dollar, he had one
If you needed a sofa to sleep on, he had one
If you needed a minute, He would even babysit
So you could have one
Even though he worked from the up to the down of the sun
He asked for nothing in return
he just wanted you to get a chance to have youthful fun
And now, that he has gone to kick it with the light side of the moon
The side the living can’t see
I selfishly know that he loved me
And nobody more than my Auntie…
I pray that he blazes on the stars
a path for any man I could love to hang on….
